Abstract

Doelstelling: Het doel van de studie was om een algemene literatuurstudie over cyberpesten te presenteren en na te gaan in welke mate er al onderzoek gevoerd is naar de linguïstische realisatie van cyberpesten. Door gebruik te maken van een zelfaangelegd corpus met cyberpestberichten, werd er nagegaan hoe deze verwoord worden en of deze resultaten ons een aanwijzing kunnen geven voor automatische detectie. Middelen of methode: Voor deze studie werd er een corpus van cyberpestberichten verzameld via de sociale netwerksite Facebook, namelijk via de wedstrijd "Mooiste Tiener van België". In totaal werden er 1.278 posts verzameld, waarvan 710 posts als flames werden beschouwd. Op basis van Spertus (1997), Wiebe et al. (2001) en Razavi et al. (2010), werd er een annotatiesysteem ontwikkeld dat naging hoe flames verwoord worden. De volgende categorieën werden geannoteerd: negatieve werkwoorden, negatieve zegswijzen, negatieve adjectieven, negatieve zelfstandige naamwoorden, negatieve tussenwerpsels en negatieve zinsmodificeerders (gebaseerd op Spertus). Achteraf werden de gazetteers van flames getest op onze data set om na te gaan hoeveel flames zo kunnen worden gedetecteerd. Verder werden alle flames ingedeeld volgens de types die beschreven werden door Razavi et al. en onderzochten we of sarcastische opmerkingen eindigen met een emoticon of meerdere leestekens zoals ‘? en ‘!'. Resultaten: Uit deze studie blijkt dat pestberichten op sociale netwerksites vaak bestaan uit negatieve zelfstandige naamwoorden en negatieve adjectieven. Er werd voornamelijk verwezen naar fysieke eigenschappen en er werd ook geprobeerd het slachtoffer belachelijk te maken. We kunnen stellen dat gazetteers van die woordcategorieën ons kunnen helpen bij het automatisch detecteren van flames. Ongeveer 14% van alle hits bevatten spellingsfouten, waardoor we kunnen stellen dat we bij het automatisch detecteren aandacht moeten hebben voor spellingscorrectie.

Abstract

Misericord carvings present a fascinating corpus of medieval art which, in turn, complements our knowledge of life and belief in the late middle ages. Subjects range from the sacred to the profane and from the fantastic to the everyday, seemingly giving equal weight to the scatological and the spiritual alike. Focusing specifically on England - though with cognisance of broader European contexts -this volume offers an analysis of misericords in relation to other cultural artefacts of the period. Through a series of themed "case studies", the book places misericords firmly within the doctrinal and devotional milieu in which they were created and sited, arguing that even the apparently coarse images to be found beneath choir stalls are intimately linked to the devotional life of the medieval English Church. The analysis is complemented by a gazetteer of the most notable instances.

Abstract

An innovative look at how families in Ming dynasty China negotiated military and political obligations to the stateHow did ordinary people in the Ming dynasty (1368-1644) deal with the demands of the state? In The Art of Being Governed, Michael Szonyi explores the myriad ways that families fulfilled their obligations to provide a soldier to the army. The complex strategies they developed to manage their responsibilities suggest a new interpretation of an important period in China's history as well as a broader theory of politics.Using previously untapped sources, including lineage genealogies and internal family documents, Szonyi examines how soldiers and their families living on China's southeast coast minimized the costs and maximized the benefits of meeting government demands for manpower. Families that had to provide a soldier for the army set up elaborate rules to ensure their obligation was fulfilled, and to provide incentives for the soldier not to desert his post. People in the system found ways to gain advantages for themselves and their families. For example, naval officers used the military's protection to engage in the very piracy and smuggling they were supposed to suppress. Szonyi demonstrates through firsthand accounts how subjects of the Ming state operated in a space between defiance and compliance, and how paying attention to this middle ground can help us better understand not only Ming China but also other periods and places.Combining traditional scholarship with innovative fieldwork in the villages where descendants of Ming subjects still live, The Art of Being Governed illustrates the ways that arrangements between communities and the state hundreds of years ago have consequences and relevance for how we look at diverse cultures and societies, even today.

Abstract

The northern Chinese mountain range of Mount Wutai has been a preeminent site of international pilgrimage for over a millennium. Home to more than one hundred temples, the entire range is considered a Buddhist paradise on earth, and has received visitors ranging from emperors to monastic and lay devotees. Mount Wutai explores how Qing Buddhist rulers and clerics from Inner Asia, including Manchus, Tibetans, and Mongols, reimagined the mountain as their own during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.Wen-Shing Chou examines a wealth of original source materials in multiple languages and media--many never before published or translated-such as temple replicas, pilgrimage guides, hagiographic representations, and panoramic maps. She shows how literary, artistic, and architectural depictions of the mountain permanently transformed the site's religious landscape and redefined Inner Asia's relations with China. Chou addresses the pivotal but previously unacknowledged history of artistic and intellectual exchange between the varying religious, linguistic, and cultural traditions of the region. The reimagining of Mount Wutai was a fluid endeavor that proved central to the cosmopolitanism of the Qing Empire, and the mountain range became a unique site of shared diplomacy, trade, and religious devotion between different constituents, as well as a spiritual bridge between China and Tibet.A compelling exploration of the changing meaning and significance of one of the world's great religious sites, Mount Wutai offers an important new framework for understanding Buddhist sacred geography.

Abstract

In a lucid history of what used to be termed "the Dark Ages," Judith Herrin outlines the origins of Europe from the end of late antiquity to the coronation of Charlemagne. She shows that the clash between nascent Islam and stubburn Byzantium was the central contest that allowed "Europe" to develop, and she thereby places the rise of the West in its true Mediterranean context. Her inquiry centers on the notion of "Christendom." Instead of taking medieval beliefs for granted or separating theology from politics, she treats the faith as a material force. In a path-breaking account of the arguments over Christian doctrine, she shows how the northern sphere of the Roman world divided into two distinct and self-conscious imperial units, as the Arabs swept through the southern regions.One of the most interesting strands of the author's argument concerns religious art and iconoclasm. Her book shows how the impact of Islam's Judaic ban on graven images precipitated both the iconoclast crisis in Constantinople and the West's unique commitment to pictorial narrative, as justified by Pope Gregory the Great.
